WHAT I SEE

(For Linonge)

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I like that
And that's not flattery
It's the truth, the whole truth
And nothing but the truth
What I like is its symmetry
Its conception, its execution
Its final disposition
That Rome-like dome
The apostolic summit
And the papal staff.

But was there a VAT
And to boot a flat battery
I'd at once call Ruth And tell her the truth
Forget about the dysentery
What matters is the validation
But by no means, extermination
That's why when at home
I live like a hermit
And wait for the sacred staff.

    Thanks, Micheal.

    If you can give me a short phrase of not more than ten words on any subject of your choice, I will also use the phrase as the opening line of a poem I will do for you.
